IDAHoANs FIRMLY believe that theil
springs are worth as much to them as

Utah.
THE MINERAL water" industry i;
kept up during the winter, and quite 6
number of persons are employed at the
works.
THE HOTEL company will add 10(
more rooms to their building next

boom pure and simple"

AT CARR1Boo, tie new mining district
north, matters ere very promising
During the past summer a new forty

How TO reduce the rate OF taxation is
he all-absorbing topic in Idaho just
now. And we'll it might be. Think OF
it! a tax aggregating three cents On
the dollar is Waged on all citizens, ire
spective of race, color or previous con-

THERE IS still considerable comment.
even among residents, relative to the
merits of the water CT the several
springs. Some claim superiority fer
the Horseshoe, some for the Octagon
some for the Hooper, and still others
for the Ninety Per Cent. Your CORE
spondent will not attempt to settle the
controversy, but after brief residence
he is free to say that the so-calied dis
similitudes constitute fair case of a
distinction withoug difference.
THE TERRITORIAL school commits
sioner has ruled that county school
boards have no right to bar teachers
from getting certificates on religious
grounds. This will doubtless be black
eye to the petty officials who have in
so!ently stepped on the rights of Nor

To PERSONS who make this their hab-
it1tde during midsummer, Soda would
now present a weird, odd appearance,
though now il is by no means without
interest. Its waters are just as magical,
its scenery Just as romantic and its soil
and Typographical features just as odd
as ever. Nature has done a great deal
for Soda, and she is now trying to do a
great deal for herself. The enterprising
Rorsley Bros. have reared two nice res
ldences during the year, c. @. Rose has
built fine store. Bishop LauW, Wal
lace u Lyman and Mrs. Williams have
also made material Improvements and
additions to their residences.
A GOOD story is told of lively retort
which confronted Salt Lake man in
This vicinity recently. On meeting a
number of boys and girls on their way
to a dance near the terminus of the
main street of a certain Bear Lake
town, the facetious Salt Laker noticed
that the crowd, which consisted of some
eight or ten boys and girls of the age of
about Is, was very jocular one, and
evidently being himself "eager for the
fray" good-naturedly shouted, "SaY,
boys. how far is it up here about half
mile Z" This was rather an awkward
question. and some of the girls, in
stinct;Vely feeling that there was joke
in the ind, began to laugh. At this
our good-natured Salt Lake man
thought he had fastened the joke sure;
but he was disabnsed quick as thought
by the young Bear Laker mot the
replying. About sixteen rods

the case on about an even footing, and
both assailed and assailant moved
onward without further ado. -.
